Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Busted flat in Baton Rouge,
headed for the train
Feeling nearly faded as my [A]jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Or[D]leans
I took my harpoon out of
my dirty red bandana
And I was blowin' the sand
while Bobby sang the [G]blues
With them windshield
wipers sloppin' times
[D]And Bobby clapping hands,
we finally [A]sang up every song
that driver [D]knew
[G]Freedom's just another word
for [D]nothing left to lose
Noth[A]ing ain't worth nothing
but it's [D]free
[G]Feelin' good was easy, Lord,
when [D]Bobby sang the blues
And [A]feelin' good was
good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGree
[D]Fro[E]m the coal mine of Kentucky
to the California sun
Bobby shared the secret of my [B]soul
Standing right beside me Lord
Through everything I've done
And every night she kept
me from the [E]cold
Then somewhere near St. Lena's Lord
I let her slip away
Looking for the home I hope she'll [A]find
And I trade all of my tomorrows
For a [E]single yesterday
Holdin' [B]Bob his body next to [E]mine
[A]Freedom just another word
For [E]nothin' left to lose
Noth[B]in' left is all she left for [E]me
[A]Feeling good was easy, Lord,
but [E]Bobby sang the blues
And [B]buddy,
that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and
Bobby [E]McGee[B]
We find
